By renovating an existing 51,500-square-foot structure and adding 25,000 square feet of new space, this project preserved the Victorian Gothic character of the campus while creating a modern science facility that meets LEED sustainability standards. A two-story addition wraps around a renovated auditorium, creating a building that has instructional spaces, a greenhouse, a large central atrium, and a natural-history museum.
